In this note we prove that for a monotone function that fixes the origin, the complementarity problem for Cn always admits a solution. If, moreover, the function is strictly monotone, then zero is the unique solution. These results are stronger than known results in this direction for two reasons: firstly, there is no condition on the nature of the cone and secondly, no feasibility assumptions are made.
